Mitt Romney avoided the military by seeking/receiving four draft deferments

by Dee Dee Garcia Blase on Jun. 05, 2012,

Did you know that Mitt Romney dodged the military? Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments according to Selective service records. Romney was of age to fight for our Country, but sought deferments instead. As a veteran of the United States Air Force, and as a female of the Armed Services, I will not vote for Mitt Romney. How can a man who “claims” to love our Country seek deferments in order to fight for her?

Though an early supporter of the Vietnam War, Romney avoided military service at the height of the fighting after high school by seeking and receiving four draft deferments, according to Selective Service records. They included college deferments and a 31-month stretch as a “minister of religion” in France, a classification for Mormon missionaries that the church at the time feared was being overused. The country was cutting troop levels by the time he became eligible for the draft, and his lottery number was not called.

I'm not staying with anything. Clinton was a draft dodger, and Kerry lied about his military bravery (and was also a traitor), but the liberals didn't say anything about them. It is pure hypocrisy and stupidity on their part. Everything is fine if they do it, but don't you dare do it if you are a republican (not saying that Romney was a draft dodger which he wasn't. His number was never drawn, you moron).

It falls into the 'Fine for me, but not for thee' category. They should shut their mouth and look in the mirror before they open their trap. And people wonder why I hate liberals so much!

It never ceases to amaze me how LIBERALS can twist words around so they can put a completely different spin on something. Mitt Romney was not a draft dodger by any stretch of the imagination. He applied for and received deferments per the laws at that time, lot's of people did. He didn't do anything illegal or unethical as far as I am concerned.

Of course the DUmmies get all wet over this when everyone else knows it's a non-story.
